This evening (by which I mean Monday, July 6), I acquired three large carrots, weighing a full pound among them and ate them. My jaw handled them just fine, but I was concerned about my repaired front teeth, so tried to bite with my side teeth. This was somewhat challenging because it was hard to open my mouth wide enough to fit the thicker parts of the carrots into the side of my mouth. However, I did eventually succeed in eating all three carrots, allowing me to answer in the affirmative the question of whether it is possible for me to eat so many carrots as to make me feel sick. Fortunately, I’m feeling better already, though.

I'm Adam Merberg. I wrote this blog after I had a bicycle accident and thought it might be useful to document the various injuries (a broken jaw among them) that resulted. If you have questions about anything you read here, feel free to email me. These days, I don't update this blog often because I consider myself to be fully recovered, but I do try to reply to comments and emails.

Please note that this blog is not a substitute for professional medical advice or treatment. If you have reason to believe that you have broken your jaw, you should see a doctor.
